Zadie Smith Quote

There's always somebody who wants to be the Big Man, and take everything for themselves, and tell everybody how to think and what to do. When, actually, it's he who is weak. But if the Big Men see that see that are weak they have no choice but to destroy you. That is the real tragedy.
